AUTHOR
Born in Germany in 2001, I graduated as a state-certified photo designer in 2022, yet I view myself primarily as a visual artist. I use the camera not merely to depict reality, but as a painterly medium—a tool to trace the invisible: fleeting emotions, subtle shifts in mood, and the quiet passage of time.

My work emerges at the intersection of Dark Romanticism, mysticism, and personal experience. Visually, I draw inspiration from Caspar David Friedrich and William Turner, embracing their depth, light, and lingering melancholy. Cinema has shaped me just as deeply: Stanley Kubrick’s technical rigor and geometric precision directly inform my composition and image structure.

In my black-and-white work, I channel the dense, high-contrast language of Sebastião Salgado, finding soul in the full spectrum between deep black and pure white. This is enriched by a poetic layer influenced by the lyrical energy of Jim Morrison.

Ultimately, I seek a meditative depth where landscapes—like the Rhine, the Black Forest, or the sea—cease to be backdrops and become mirrors of memory, longing, and stillness. My goal is to create spaces where viewers do not just look, but feel, softening the boundary between dream and reality.
